SANDFORD Springs now boasts a second player on the European Ladies' Tour.

Last year the club near Basingstoke celebrated Kirsty Taylor's rise to Rookie of the Year.

Now Southampton-born Claire Duffy has joined the professional staff at the Springs and will fly the flag again for them in Europe next year after finishing 81st in the order of merit to earn her playing rights for 2003.

Claire finished the season in style with a tie for eighth place in the Biarritz Open last week.
